The DC Department of Corrections gathers its family-facing services on this page, which encourages friends and relatives to keep in touch by telephone, mail and video visitation while a person is held in the DC Jail. It explains that money can be deposited into an inmate finance account using the Inmate Connector Kiosk inside the Video Visitation Center, or by automated payment through Western Union or the commercial OffenderConnect service. The page then links out to each individual service: calling or receiving a call from an inmate, locating an inmate, scheduling a video visit, sending a letter, transferring funds, volunteering, and the agency's frequently asked questions. Contact details for the department at 3924 Minnesota Avenue NE and translations in Amharic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese are also provided.
